WeedSeeker is the most economical method of controlling weeds.
Of all the various methods for controlling weeds the obvious one to choose is selective spraying for its relatively low cost. Selective spraying means spraying only the weeds and not the surrounding area, thereby causing minimal damage to the environment.
 The WeedSeeker can save up to 90% of pesticide thanks to its automatic weed detection system which only sprays the weeds and not the ground.
 The system consists of an infrared sensor which recognises the weeds; this sensor is connected to a spray nozzle which can be switched on and off rapidly. The benefits of the system are that it is fast and it can work both during the day and night as the sensors are insensitive to sunlight .
 Further advantages of the WeedSeeker over comparative methods are that even at the higher speeds the dosage is extremely precise. Each sensor covering 30 cm and it is very easy to alter the width of the sprayer by simply adding or removing sensors.
 The sensitivity of the WeedSeeker can be easily altered to treat different size weeds or to work on different surfaces. This means it can work anywhere e.g. Industrial sites, pavements, paths, orchards, railways and runways.
The WeedSeeker can be installed on any vehicle which suits a particular terrain and the specific job.
